Ha, those boolits kinda look like that old root beer hard candie, the little ones that were shaped like barrels. Haven't had one in ages.

My wife bought 2 small thick heavy nonstick 6×8(I think?) sheet pans. She decided she didn't want them right around the time I started PCing boolits. I figured if non stick foil works, maybe these...

I got into reloading right at the start of the shutdowns. I bought 1k SRP @ $30/1000 and wish I had bought more. Unfortunately I'm young and in the early stage of family life where we don't have much...

Not to distract from your question OP, but you are 100% correct about the community here. I've only been a member for a few weeks but during my first day here and first post, I had a gentleman reach...

Those sure are purdy! I mistakenly did something similar. I bought black HF PC but it didn't stick at all, so I bought white HF PC and it kinda stuck. So then I mixed the two and like you was...

Those look good! What brand is the chrome PC?

I must be doing something wrong because when I tried 2 stroke oil on my Lee mould, it did nothing and I fear I've damaged my mould. I rubbed it on the contact rub points on the mould and sprue plate,...

Where does one obtain a flat stem? I've thought about filling the engraving on mine with some epoxy to flatten it. Is this a bad idea?

I have an inertia puller and used it to pull all the bullets...

I'll have to try it then. Might need to try that mould as well.

I didn't think it would make too much of a difference, but some seemed concerned... However I don't blame them, always a good idea to be cautious.

Wow, thanks for the info! I've almost finished pulling all the boolits under 1.12 OAL, guess I didn't need to? Oh well, wasn't too many.

I'm glad to know someone else is using this boolit. I...

Unfortunately I don't have a chronograph. I plan to pull all the bullets that came in under the OAL just to be safe.

I'm using a Lee 356-125-2R mould, and so far the boolits are dropping around 130-133gn. I am using the shake n bake method to PC so I do understand there will be some variation. I'm using Sport...

I'm a noob so I can't offer input on the technique, other than it was easy to follow and understand. Good information in the video.

As for the video itself, I suggest a different/larger font and a...

Thank you for the warm welcome. I've been plunk testing most rounds and haven't ran into any issues yet, but you make a good point to test them before heading to the range.



Thank you for the...

I never would have thought about that, thanks for the idea.

Ah, ok. I misunderstood your post the first time. I get it now!

I'm sizing with a Lee press through sizer, although I'm not sure how that would affect OAL?

I am using mixed brass, range pickup brass.

I'm 28, just recently started reloading and casting within the last year. At first I started due to the cost of factory ammo, but I'm finding I enjoy it almost more than shooting. I've always been...

I didn't read the whole thread, but to OPs original question, I think you basically answered it yourself. BHN is a measurement and is relative.

You're asking if 5 is bigger than 1, yes. Or if...

Im using Sport Pistol, the max charge is 4.2gn, but I'm using 3.9gn.

Right, I think that's probably what's happening, Uneven PC.

As for primer, every time there's an OAL too high, I inspect the primer and to the eye it is not proud of the case, and the cartridge...

Ok, that makes sense. I am getting a slight engraving towards the tip of the boolit. Some worse than others but the amount is generally pretty consistent. I am not using lube as I've read it isn't...

Hi guys, I'm reloading some of my cast and PC 9mm boolits. I set my seating die to an OAL of 1.12" per a load sheet I'm using. Several rounds came out to 1.12, but then I started getting a wide range...

I'm going to follow this thread. I'm getting into 308 casting myself, mostly for plinking, but I've been thinking about casting some white tail hunting rounds as well.
